Potential 2nd rounder. I've stolen most of this from the bigfooty phantom drafts board.

Julian Dobosz (TAS - KPF)

Height: 193cm, Weight: 85kg, DOB: 17/11/1992

Recruited from: North Hobart

Style: Jack Riewoldt

Profile: Sensational talent and has that full forward ability few have. Is very new to the game which makes him incredibly interesting. The thing that stands out to me with Dobosz is his ability to read the ball better than his opponent which seems to allow him to get to the right positions more often than not. Very high level athlete and is incredibly quick. Showed that he is a big time goal kicker throughout the year while also putting in some very strong performances during the u18 championships. Would like for him to work a bit harder defensively. Tackling still doesn’t look completely natural to him and needs allot of work. But for someone so new to the game, looking very promising.

Video Highlights

What makes Dobosz stand out from the few games i've seen of him is his ability to read the ball in the air. Has excellent excelleration and 1v1 is not bad either physically.

Probably doesn't go for tackles as much as I'd like. Seems to chase but then seems to hesitate before tackling rather than really going for it - hopefully this will come with experience. That defense aspect to his game still needs developing.

Also his goal kicking totals I consider a little flattering. In the opener v Vic Country had either easy set shots from 30m out directly in front or cheap goals right infront of goal.

Set shot goal kicking routine I'd like to see more work go into. Seems to do a that few short quick steps then launch the kick. Needs work but from the games i've seen still seems to convert ok.

Overall still a raw, but exciting talent. Lots of improvement to come. Considering how new he is to AFL with only the 1 season under his belt. Could have a future in this league. Probable 1st rounder. Look for a St Kilda or other team looking for a KPF to look at him seriously in the 1st round.

Without a doubt one of the better forwards in this draft.

Quote from a random bigfooty member.

Ex soccer player. Has only played the game for 12 months - this of course means massive upside. He kicked 7 against Vic Country hahaha. Absolutely dominated that game. Intelligent forward despite his inexperience.

PICK 36 – Melbourne - Julian Dobosz (North Hobart)

Height: 193cm Weight: 85kg DOB: 17/11/1992

Tall forward

Julian is a full forward that reads the flight of the ball really well and is a solid mark. Quick on the lead and he’s an accurate shot on goal. He has kicked some big bags of goals. Only new to the game, but he looks like a very good prospect for a full forward. Still needs improvement in a lot of areas if he is to make the grade especially defensively. Will need a couple of years before he’s ready, he’s still got a lot to learn.

A good write up, but a bit meaningless to assume we will take him at pick 36. A lot can happen in 35 picks.

Notice how I put 'Potential' in the Topic.

I'm not saying we will pick him. I've got no idea.
